I used to hate steam. Now I see it as a sort of all in one game program where I can easily find and communicate with friends as well as purchase, update and install games without really doing anything. I used to be pissy about needing steam to load up to let me play something but now I kinda don't care as I tend to leave it running anyway. I mostly like it now because of the ridonculous deals that are oh so common on there. over the last year I've been buying a lot of games on steam. I would have passed on all of them for retail price, but jesus man when it tells me I can get this that and/or the other for less than 30, 20 or 10 dollars I can't stop myself. I can't remember the last time I paid retail price for a video game.

I do still hate how a game's files are buried under the steam folder. Somehow I never get used to that. So if I know I'll be poking around in a game's files I have to make a shortcut to it.

I'm sure steam wouldn't like it, but I wish I could pass off steam games I no longer want to friends or even let others borrow them.
